📋 Team News: Schalke

Schalke boss Kees van Wonderen has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Ralf Fährmann (Torn lateral knee ligament), Emil Højlund (Hamstring injury), Taylan Bulut (Ill), Aris Bayindir (Hamstring injury), Ilyes Hamache (Fitness) and Zaid Amoussou-Tchibara (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.

💭 Prediction

We are of the inclination to think that Schalke and Greuther Furth may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 1-1 score draw when the full-time whistle blows.
